3 mile warmup at vasa.  Nice and easy from 6.5 to faster by end.  Then  3 x 800 m  at 6:40 pace with 400 m in between at 9:22 pace (6.4 mph zone 1 fastest of ) and 3 x 800 at 6:35 pace.  First stop was after the six 800s. About two min.  Warmed up again for 1/4 mile and ran a 1200 at 631 avg.  increased pace from 9.0. Felt good despite being very grieved in spirit.   Troys mom passed away at our home Tuesday at 809 pm. I felt it coming all day. She had been battling cancer and had moved into our home sat aug 10.

My mother in law Sheri Russell is not doing well. She passed away in our home.  My kids and husband sang hymns to her as she passed from this life to the peace of paradise.

Just guessing on mileage. Forced myself out there after a lot of so. I guess since the passing of my mother in law.   We will miss her more than we can say. It was an out of body experience of a run for me. Lots of intense emotion.
